From an idea to the foundation of a company

Daniel Grobe and Benjamin Brockmann studied together at TU Munich and also conducted research at the Fraunhofer Institute and got to know Anian Ziegler during that time. Based on their experience in research, industry and management consulting, they developed the idea for the software solution Operations1.

Operations1 was founded in 2017 in cooperation with the TU Munich. In addition to the Augsburg location in the Innovation Park, the software company moved into new office space in Frankfurt am Main in 2020. Customers such as Hirschvogel, Bosch, Stabilo, Trumpf and Nabertherm come from a wide range of manufacturing industries, from mechanical and plant engineering to consumer goods and automotive.
